Although Audra is a young trainer, she has put in thousands of hours riding and has accomplished a great deal with her horses, in and out of the show pen. She competes in most events available, but specializes in training horses for Western Pleasure, Western Riding, and Trail. Audra only trains a select number of outside horses, and is a firm believer that 'Quality is better than quantity,' keeping her numbers low but quality high. She strives to be known for producing, training, showing, and coaching champions. She has trained many APHA, AQHA, and ApHC champions that have Top Ten, top five, and wins at majors shows such as The Reichert Celebration, NSBA World Championships, Quarter Horse Congress, and the ApHC National and World shows. Check out some of Audra's Training Videos on YouTube- look up IB Stables and view all our videos of horses for sale. |

This picture shows Audra's great smile and attitude Audra loves to show pleasure and it is obvious by her smile. She is enthusiastic and personable, presenting our horses and farm at their best. |
| Audra's Passion For Pleasure Audra has done well in pleasure since the beginning- placing 3rd in both Leadline and Walk/Trot at the Nationals. However, her true passion for the pleasure classes didn't develop until 2002. This was the year Audra trained, IB bred, Jack Zip, who brought home several top tens in the 2 yr old ApPHA Futurities that fall. Since then- its all about Western Pleasure. Jack still loves it too and placed top five in Western and Hunt Seat Pleasure with his owner Tonekka Hall at the 2008 Nationals. |

Stepping It Up In 2006 Audra and IMA Classy Chip won the 14 - 18 Western Pleasure at the Appaloosa Youth World Championships. This was Audra's Youth dream. Audra and Lucy also placed Top Ten in Ladies Western Pleasure and made finals in Senior that year at the World Show. This pair continues to get it done placing 6th in Ladies Western Pleasure at the 2008 World Championships, bringing home a top ten every time. |
| Not A Fluke Right after taking the blue in Youth Pleasure Audra made top five in the Open 2 year old Western Pleasure and ApPHA 2 year old futurities on IB Stables bred Oughta Be A Breeze. The pair went on to place top ten at the World show in all the 2 year old Western Pleasure futurities, placing 3rd in the ApPHA Limited 2 year old. This mare gets better with age, and Audra continues to show her to top placings in Western Pleasure, Trail, and Western Riding. Watch their 2006 ApHC National 2 year old western pleasure ride on YouTube. Search for IB Stables' videos. |

Teaching Others As much as Audra loves showing and training them for herself, she also trains a select few horses and riders to a National/World level. Audra's students have had great success, placing Top Ten at the Youth World Show in Western Pleasure and Horsemanship. In 2007 and 2008 Hannah Huq and IMA Classy Chip took 3rd in the Western Pleasure 12 & under. |
| Going Big Time After placing well, and getting recognized in the pleasure pen at ApHC shows, Audra decided to test her ability with the top of the line 'Pleasure People.' Taking both a Paint and Appaloosa mare to the 2007 Reichert Celebration, Audra came home reassured-- with Top Ten placings on both Top Secret Zippo and Oughta Be A Breeze. |

The Key To Success Here at IB, we all believe a good foundation is the key to any good show horse. We are honest to owners, and compassionate to horses. No horse in training with Audra is pushed into a pleasure event. If pleasure is not your horse's forte, IB Stables may still be the place for you. At IB Stables we can develop your horse's potential to its best, in any event. Our horses all continue to win past their Futurity years! |
